{MTL} ✅After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

ch 21

When Lin Yanming came back, Shi Rui had already packed up his facial expressions.

He smiled at Lin Yanming: "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

Shi Rui put the condolences in his hand on the bedside: "I hope you can help me convey my greetings to my brother."

"Walk slowly." Lin Yanming replied indifferently, still looking like he was ignoring him.

When Shi Rui walked to the door, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to look at Lin Yanming:

"By the way, when you were out for dinner, I received a call, saying that I hoped my brother would call back."

"Who is it?" Lin Yanming frowned.

"It seems to be from the Authority," Shi Rui said lightly.

After saying that, he turned to leave.

The door of the ward closed behind Shi Rui, and his expression instantly turned gloomy.

He didn't want to give Shi An this news.

However, Shi Rui is not stupid, he has clearly stated his name and identity just now. If the information is not conveyed, it will be easy to contact him, so he can only choose a relatively compromised method.

Shi Rui's expression twisted slightly.

He didn't know what kind of magic Shi An had, and he was able to climb up the relationship with that big man.

And Mu Heng's tone should already have the other party's number.

Why is this happening.

What part went wrong?

Shi Rui closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

It doesn't matter, maybe it's just a simple greeting to the people he saves.

But no matter what, until he finds out the closeness of the relationship between Shi An and Mu Heng, all his thoughts must be taken away. Even if he wants this blocking stone to disappear, he can't risk being attacked by anyone, especially that one. Risks discovered by the officer.

Shi Rui clenched his icy hands and gritted his teeth secretly.

He knew that their father had high hopes for Shi An, and even donated a building to the Academy of the Ability to enroll him. After Shi An was really unable to support the wall, Shi Zechun sent someone to find him.

Shi Rui couldn't believe that in the more than ten years of his growth, his father had not heard the slightest news.

It's just that the other party gave up on Shi An, so he must find an heir.

Shi Rui knew very well that everything he got now was based on the premise that "Shi An is trash".

Therefore, he must maintain the status quo.

"...What's going on?"

Wang Li stared at the magnificent and cruel spectacle in front of him.

His face was blood-red by the firelight in the sky, and the strong burning smell filled the air. The crows turned into fly ash in the crackling sound of the burning, and little sparks fell down beside them.

With the disappearance of the gray crows, the fire in the air was extinguished before falling, and the light of the rising sun in the distance was sprinkled down.

"...Okay, so strong." Wang Li murmured.

——To accomplish such a feat, how terrifyingly destructive power and how much precise control is required?

How many people in the academy can do that?

Who exactly saved them?

far away.

Shi An lowered his head and looked at his palm in amazement.

He can feel that the intensity of his dragon flame has almost doubled compared to before!

And, more importantly...

Shi An Nian moved slightly, and saw a cluster of crimson flames rising from his fingertips.

Under the light of the fire, it can be seen that the base of the palm to the fingertips is covered with a thin film.

That layer of film shone with a metallic brilliance, and the lines of scales were faintly visible.

Since burning the puppet worms to death in the previous simulation training, Shi An has not successfully recalled the scales again.

That day, the layer of scales that appeared on his fingertips seemed to be his hallucination and never appeared again.

until now.

Shi An tightened his fingers, and the palm of his hand returned to the white and soft human skin that he had previously.

He opened his hand again, and the scales appeared again.

It didn't fail!

Shi An slightly widened his eyes and looked at his palm in surprise.

Although the color is not dark enough, and the scales are not fully revealed, Shi An is very familiar with this texture. These are the scales that he covered when he was still a young dragon.

After several molting periods, his scales became pitch black and sharp.

It seems that although he spit out the eye of the abyss at the time, he had absorbed a lot of the magic power that had been released before that.

Although it is far from his heyday, this is a very good sign!

The demon worm looked blankly at the young man in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched:

"Then how long are you going to wait?"

In its eyes, the other party has been staring at his palm for at least five minutes, opening it for a while. He clenched again, with a happy smirk on his face.

——It seems that there is a problem with the designation.

"Oh yes!"

Shi An pulled away from his own thoughts, showing a stunned expression: "Grey Crow's Nest!"

Demon insect: ...

you can think of it!

Shi An stretched out his hand to pick up the magic insect, and then crawled up the rock with difficulty, moving forward hard.

Without the crows that get in the way, the path to their den is unobstructed.

Soon, Shi An climbed in.

Just as he stabilized his body, Shi An was dazzled by what was in front of him.

The rising sun in the distance shone in, reflecting dazzling rays of light on countless smooth surfaces. Seeing those familiar, long-lost sparkles made Shi An almost cry with joy.

Great!

There is finally hope for his new bed!

"The hesitant voice of the demon worm sounded.

Shi An looked dazed: "Huh? "

No, nothing." The

attitude of the devil is a bit weird.

Shi An blinked.

The sunlight that came in just now faded, revealing the true face of the lair in front of him.

Shi An: "..."

He looked around dully, I fell into a long silence. In the

lair in front of me, there were broken glass, can pull tabs, glass beads, and pen tips, as well as all kinds of metal fragments with strange coatings.

In short, basically, all, A defective product of modern craftsmanship. The

magic insects are as quiet as chickens and dare not make a sound.

Although the gray crow can live in the abyss and the mainland, it is also an abyss species after all, and has basically never come into contact with humans.

They are a species dominated by instinct alone, and do not have independent individual intelligence, so they were naturally stunned by the goddamn hypocrisy of humans in the past...

They picked up a pile of garbage as a treasure.

The demon worm secretly looked at Shi An.

The other party didn't seem to have recovered from such a big blow, and stood there with a gloomy face, as if his soul was instantly evacuated, and stared at the gray crow's nest in front of him sluggishly and desperately.

awful.

That's horrible.

The demon worm sighed and silently put his slender legs on Shi An's shoulders. Quan should comfort him: "Or, pick and choose?"

Shi An: "..."

Pick a fart! ! !

Shi An was extremely sad.

The sleepiness of staying up late for a few days, the exhaustion of traveling for most of the night, the ups and downs of great joy and great sorrow, all came to my mind at this moment.

He sniffed: "Why—"

Far away.

Several of Wang Li's companions were counting their belongings and checking their injuries.

Wang Li, on the other hand, stood by himself, looking around him.

The valley was quiet and peaceful. If it wasn't for the scorched ashes scattered around their feet, they would hardly believe that they were being besieged by a group of terrifying monsters just now.

But...one thing they can be sure of.

They were definitely rescued, but for some reason, the powerful and kind person didn't show up until now.

As a second-year prefect, Wang Li knew very well that those who could make such a move were definitely not ordinary people.

He searched around in his mind for the strong men who could be named in the academy, but none of them matched the way of releasing the magic power just now.

Is it the teacher?

"Hello—" Wang Li raised his voice and shouted,

"Although I don't know if you are still here, thank you very much for your rescue just now!"

However, the response to him was silence.

Suddenly, one of his companions said, "Hey, did you hear anything?"

"Hey?" Wang Li was taken aback.

He listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a sound coming from not far away, very thin and low, not real, but it was there.

Wang Li turned his head and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

——I saw a huge tree that looked very ancient not far from the valley. Between the branches of the tree, there was a huge nest, which should be the place where the creatures who attacked them just now lived.

inside the nest.

The boy squatted in the corner, sobbing sadly.

Looking very aggrieved.

Demon Insect: "..."

If it hadn't seen the other party set fire just now, it really wouldn't believe it was the legendary abyss dragon.

It sighed, jumped down from Shi'an's shoulders, and tried to flip through the gray crow's nest, its entire upper body was buried in the depths of glass and metal garbage, and its back legs kicked and clanked. sound.

Shi An: "You, what are you doing?" The

demon worm struggled for a few more minutes, and finally got out.

I saw a small ruby ​​in its front paws: "Look."

"Grey crows generally migrate throughout the nest. Although they have accumulated a lot of human garbage, there should be a lot of previous inventory. It should still be there!"

Shi An's eyes lit up, and he immediately regained his spirits.

He used to rob the gray crows and wiped out the whole nest. Except that he knew that this race likes to collect treasures as well as himself, the others are basically unclear. After all, they are gone when a dragon flame is sprayed, and there is no understanding of their habits at all. necessary.

"Okay!" Shi An cheered, rolled up his sleeves, and began to flip through the nest energetically.

"..."

Wang Li and his party stood under the tree, looking up at the nest above their heads.

In the tinkling sound, countless strange things smashed down indiscriminately and landed on the grass under their feet.

Wang Li looked down.

Rubbish.

......what's the situation?

He twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his voice, and shouted, "Hello?" The

clinking above his head suddenly stopped.

"Hello?" Gan Li called out again,

but no one responded.

But this instead confirmed their guess-their savior was indeed on it.

"Anyway, thank you for your help just now." Wang Li shouted.

"We actually just took a B-level mission this time. I didn't expect to encounter these monsters. If it wasn't for you, we might have been planted here. If you want, we can have a good chat?"

A muffled voice A sulky voice came from above his head:

"I don't want to."

Wang Li said in a good-natured manner,

"Alright, but at least let us give you the reward for the task. After all, you also indirectly helped us complete the task. It's yours!"

Shi An crouched in the lair and blinked: "Task? Reward?"

Wang Li: "Yes, in order to cultivate the students' actual combat ability, the College of Abilities will regularly release different tasks, some on-campus and some off-campus. After receiving the tasks and completing them, you will get a lot of money."

Shi An :"!"remuneration?

money!

Treasure!

Shiny!

The devil glared at him.

Shi An had to reluctantly part with the love: "No, no need, I'm just casual this time..."

"Well, I respect your decision, I hope we have a chance to see you again!"

Surprisingly, Wang Li did not bother. , but politely greeted Shi An and left with his companion.

As the human breath went away, Shi An turned his head and looked at the demon insect expectantly: "Reward!" The corner of the demon insect's mouth twitched: "At least wait for you to get

hurt."

He assuredly said: "However, if you want to take the task, try to take it as far away from the school as possible, and the level is not high, it is best not to attract the attention of others..."

Shi An: "Of course!" That

big tree It's gone, and I can't see it anymore.

One of Wang Li's companions couldn't help

but say, "Well, let's just go like this? Then, the person for that matter..."

"No hurry." Wang Li opened his mouth to intercept the other party's words.

He adjusted his glasses and said calmly: "Only after the admission process is completed, students are allowed to receive assignments, and he has not even heard of the assignments of the academy, which only means that he is still a freshman. , I didn't have time to go through the whole process." The

companion was stunned: "Newborn?"

Wang Li nodded: "I didn't expect that this year's freshman would have such a strong person."

"But if it is a freshman, wouldn't it be suitable for such a high-risk action?" His companion showed hesitation on his face. look.

"On the contrary."

Wang Li's eyes gleamed behind the lens: "Before he received any systematic training, he had such an amazing magical power and could release such a terrifying spell. Think about it, if you could do it again After receiving the training of the academy, how powerful this person will become! I can't imagine a better candidate!" The

companion fell into contemplation.

After a long time, he sighed: "Indeed."

"This kind of strong man will not be buried, we will be able to see him again!"

Wang Li said with certainty.

After the humans left, Shi An carefully turned the entire nest upside down.

Finally, among the piles of man-made garbage, there was barely half a bag of treasures.

It's impossible to make a bed, you can only fit a pillow like this at most.

Shi An sighed, a fire burned away the traces of his coming, and then turned to leave.

As soon as he returned to the ward, he was stopped by Lin Yanming:

"Hey, you're finally back, it's already afternoon, where have you been for so long?"

Shi An scratched his head: "Just, go around. '

he said as he put his new pillow down on the head of the bed with a thud, the pillow cover tinkling.

"Oh, forget it, put this aside for now,"

Lin Yanming didn't seem to notice the other party's movements, but continued with a serious look:

"This morning, your titular brother came to see you and put a bunch of things, but I tell you, I have a bad sense of him, I don't know why, but I feel like this person is right You don't have good intentions. In short, if he comes to you again later, you must be more careful, don't lose your guard, but don't be fooled like last time..."

Shi An absentmindedly " Hmm." He responded, taking off his shoes and crawling onto the bed.

"By the way, during your absence, someone seemed to be looking for him, saying that it was from the Administration Bureau. I hope you can call back—"

Lin Yanming heard that there was no movement on the other side.

"Shian? Shi'an?" There

was an even sound of breathing from the bed beside him.

Shi An closed his eyes, his long eyelashes hung down on his fair face, and the soft strands of hair scattered on his new pillow, his expression was extraordinarily serene and peaceful.

"Call back, do you hear?" Lin Yanming repeated worryingly

that Shi'an "ummm", turned over and fell asleep again.

Lin Yanming stared at the young man not far away, his eyes fell on the pillow jingling as he turned over: "..."

What the hell?

Why does this pillow still have a sound?

a few days later.

Zhuo Fu came to Mu Heng's office again.

He probed in and asked straight to the point, "How is it? Did you get back?"

This time, Mu Heng's face was obviously darkened.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "No."

Zhuo Fu couldn't help taking a breath.

He had known Mu Heng for so many years, and this was the first time he saw someone not selling his face—and more than that, he simply ignored him!

He was obviously also a little worried: "Then, what should I do?"

I saw Mu Heng raised his eyes and looked over, his silver-blue eyes were like the cold and high sky, and there was no superfluous emotion, he briefly hooked the corner of his lower lip , said:

"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Academy of Ability.

"

Shaxing laughed.

Zhuo Fu was taken aback by the opponent.

Although he knew it had nothing to do with him, he couldn't help but his mind went blank and asked subconsciously, "Of course, then what?"

Mu Heng: "The academy handed me an invitation letter."

He slowly put on his gloves: "This is I'll go next time."
